FAQs
What will happen if I haven’t set up a rule for a shopper’s country?
If there’s no specific rule, the app falls back to your Global Rules settings—so there’s always an ETA on display. You don’t need to worry about gaps in coverage; every customer sees an estimate, even if you’re shipping to a new market.
How does the app know which country rule to use?
NS Estimated Delivery Date uses IP-based geolocation to detect your visitor’s location and automatically matches them to the correct country rule. No extra code or manual tagging required—just set up your rules once, and the app handles the rest.
Can I edit or remove a country rule later?
Yes. In the Delivery country table, click the three-dot menu next to any entry, then choose Edit or Delete. You can refine delivery windows on the fly as your fulfillment capabilities evolve.
Can I display estimated delivery dates in multiple languages?
Yes, you can add multiple languages to your store, and the language will automatically change based on the customer’s country. To do this, first click on Language Configuration, then click Add Language. Select the language you want to display, and finally, click Save.
